There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 139 Zhou Ji’s Office: It wasn’t me who made the meritorious service, it was Su Xian
This time everyone, including Princess Lanling, heard clearly.

The Zhou Ji Office is about to return to the camp... This is not the point, the point is that the Zhou Ji Office has arrested the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom!

Everyone's hearts were beating wildly.

Instinctively, I felt that this statement was not trustworthy and that the soldier was lying.

But when I think about it carefully, it is completely unnecessary, because according to the soldier, the Zhou Ji Office will soon return to the camp with the Liao secret envoy...

This kind of thing can be verified immediately, and there is no reason to lie at all.

In other words, Zhou Ji's Office really captured the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom!
This... how is this possible?
You know, even Nangong Kui, the prison chief's third arrester, found nothing!

Not even any clues about the Liao people could be traced.

But Zhou Ji's office was lucky enough to catch the Liao's secret envoy in one step...

Everyone finds it ridiculous.

But this is the fact, you have to believe it.

The big tent fell into a brief silence again, and everyone was stunned with different expressions.

More than ten breaths later, a long-lost smile bloomed on Princess Lanling's charming face. She said five or six "good" words in a row, and then said to herself:
"Such a hero deserves a heavy reward!"

"The Zhou Ji Office is very good. I will definitely reward him generously!"

"..."

Sima, Wang You, Chief Secretary and other officials of the princess's palace were shocked and secretly sighed:
"From this point of view, the Zhou Ji Office is about to flourish! Her Royal Highness's favor for him may surpass that of us. However, he deserves this, so I can't envy him."

There was also a moment of astonishment on Nangong Kui's handsome and feminine face. He frowned. He was naturally displeased that Zhou Ji's office was climbing up the ranks by stepping on the title of their Prison Department.

But people are better than him.

Before he could find any clues about the Liao people, they had already arrested the Liao secret envoy... Such strength has to be convincing!
The ones with the most violent mood swings were naturally those who consulted on military matters and literature.

The original idea of ​​consulting the military was to use this matter to bridge the gap between the princess and him. This matter was related to his official career and his family and life, so he took it very seriously.

Just now, the princess was so angry that he was so scared that he put this plan aside temporarily, hoping that Nangong Kui could find clues about the Liao people to calm the princess's anger.

Then, the princess did not get angry or punish anyone. While she was relieved to discuss joining the military, the plan in her heart gradually emerged again...

However, in the blink of an eye, the situation changed drastically.

Zhou Ji's office was in place in one step, and the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom was arrested and brought to justice...

His plan thus failed.

The estrangement between him and the princess will never be eliminated.

It is very likely that his career, and even his life and fortune, will fall into a trough and never get up again...

As soon as he thought about this, he suddenly felt resentful in his heart.

He clenched his fists secretly, gritted his teeth, and cursed secretly:

"Zhou Ji's Office, Zhou Ji's Office, I should have pushed you out of the Princess's Mansion long ago, otherwise this wouldn't have happened now... My career is basically ruined!"

"..."

Annoyed for a while, he slowly loosened his clenched teeth, and gradually loosened his clenched fists.

"Heh!" He smiled miserably, and said in his heart: "Through this matter, the Zhou Ji Office will definitely be reused by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and its status will even surpass the current me..."

"At that time, I'm afraid I will only be able to curry favor with others, so why talk about revenge?"

"..."

With this thought in his mind, the military consultant slowly suppressed the anger in his heart...

……

After half a column of incense.

In the tent of the Chinese army.

Under the ardent expectations of Princess Lanling and everyone, Nangong Kui finally returned to the big tent.

Just now, the princess ordered Nangong Kui to go out of the tent to identify the person brought back by Zhou Ji's office... The princess's arrangement rekindled hope for the military consultancy.

Yes, who has seen what the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom looks like?
What if the Zhou Ji Office just caught an ordinary Liao man?
Now, Nangong Kui is back, and everyone, especially Princess Lanling and the consultants, are waiting for the results of his identification.

"Your Highness Princess, the Liao people escorted back by Zhou Ji's Office are indeed the secret envoys of the Liao Kingdom!"

Nangong Kui reported.

As soon as she finished speaking, before Princess Lanling could reply, the Consultative Military Consultant immediately jumped out and questioned:
"The statement about the three arrests is false. We have never seen what the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom looks like. How can the three arrests confirm that the person is the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom?"

Yes.

Everyone looked at Nangong Kui with questions in their eyes.

Nangong Kui's face was always gloomy and unsmiling. He said calmly:
"Of course we haven't seen the true face of the Liao Kingdom's secret envoy, but someone has seen it!"

"Who?"

"Former governor of Yingzhou!"

"Uh...this..."

Consultant Shenjun's head was buzzing, as if someone had hit him with a sap, and he took a few steps back, his face extremely ugly.

Just now, Princess Lanling's arrangement gave him a ray of hope.

Now, this ray of hope has dissipated...

In a short period of time, his mood experienced several ups and downs, which made him extremely irritable and resentful!

But Zhou Ji's office can't hate him. He is about to become famous, and hating him is tantamount to courting death.

As a result, the hatred in his chest had nowhere to vent, making him extremely uncomfortable...

Princess Lanling was overjoyed when she got the affirmative answer. She hurriedly waved her sleeves and said:
"Where are the people from Zhou Ji's office?"

"Bring him here quickly, I am really curious about his experience!"

"..."

Shortly after.

Zhou Ji's office stepped into the big account.

Princess Lanling and everyone in the tent all turned their heads to look no matter what their mood was.

After just one glance, Princess Lanling stood up.

Although she did not greet him, this was already a very high courtesy for her as a princess. This was a sign of respect for those who had made great contributions.

After everyone in Zhou Ji's office entered the big tent, Princess Lanling took a closer look and saw that his face was full of tiredness and his eyes were black and purple——

How long has it been since I had a break?

Also, his mental state was extremely poor, as if he had been overworked.

Thank you for your hard work... Princess Lanling thought silently in her heart.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou took two steps inside the office, and then, another person behind him stepped into the Chinese army's tent...

Why is there still one person?

The princess took a quick look——

I saw that this man was eight feet long, tall and stalwart, his Confucian shirt was in tatters, his face was stained and slightly swollen... he looked like he was in a state of embarrassment after being violently beaten.

If you remove the swelling on his face, this man is actually very handsome.

It can be seen that his facial features are neat and handsome, and his complexion should be very white, especially those two sword eyebrows, which abruptly pull him out of the category of "pretty face".

Very masculine...

Who is this person?Could it be that he is an assistant in the Zhou Ji Office?Well, since he was brought to the big account by Zhou Ji's Office, it means that this person also made some small contributions in the process of capturing the Liao Kingdom's secret envoy... Princess Lanling analyzed it.

It's just a small achievement, and there is no need to reward him. He only needs to reward his superior, that is, the Zhou Ji Office... This is a popular practice nowadays.

Finally, Zhou Ji's office walked to the middle of the big tent.

The embarrassed and handsome scholar stood side by side.

"You have worked so hard, Zhou Ji Office. Capturing the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom has solved a major problem for me. You deserve the greatest credit!"

Princess Lanling's charming face bloomed with a genial smile.

"Tell me, please tell me, how did you discover the traces of the Liao's emissary, and how did you arrest him?" She straightened her posture, as if listening to a story.

"..."

Zhou Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he bowed with a wry smile and said, "Your Highness, Princess Qi, the person who made great achievements in capturing the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom this time is not a low-ranking official."

As he spoke, he turned sideways, let the handsome scholar out, and introduced him solemnly:
"The person who deserves the most credit for capturing the Liao secret envoy is him, Su Xian from Leshou County!"

"He was also the one who sensed the divine thunder buried under the Hejian Inn and helped Her Royal Highness escape the disaster!"
